4:00 am
the big question, of course, how did they do? we'll tell you about that in just a few moments. >> made that small school so proud. rob nelson is in for ron with a look at the other stories developing. routine military training that unfortunately turned deadly. a member of the navy s.e.a.l.s was killed. another injured when they collided during freefall training in arizona. it's one of the military re most elite forces, u.s. navy s.e.a.l. team six responsible for the raid that killed osama bin laden is now mourning the loss of one of its own. the navy s.e.a.l. died not in a perilous undercover operation but during what was supposed to be routine parachuting training at piknell air park and left another member in the hospital. right now it's unclear if either navy s.e.a.l. was part of the operation that killed bin laden. this is not the first deadly
4:01 am
accident at pinal air park. >> no, no, he's not breathing, sir. >> reporter: a 911 call from 2008 when tree trained servicemen died during parachute training within six months of each other. >> it looks like we have a gentleman that parachuted out or something like that and he didn't make it. >> reporter: it was temporarily put on hold at the park there following those accidents. investigators would later conclude all three deaths were the result of human error. that injured s.e.a.l. is still in the hospital in stable condition. in other news this morning, north korea is ratcheting up the rhetoric again this morning. the rogue nation now saying it has entered a state of war with south korea just a day after threatening the u.s. abc's reena ninan joining us from washington with the latest. what's the white house's reaction? >> reporter: they're not really surprised. one white house official telling me overnight they do take these threats seriously. but it's become a pattern for
4:02 am
north korea. the white house and the pentagon are taking additional measures expanding u.s. ground-based intercepters as well as early warning and tracking radar. >> how close is north korea to being able to strike the u.s. mainland, big yes. >> reporter: yeah, very big question, general chuck gentlemjacoby told the white house their long-range missile capabilities has moved faster than they expected. they know they're growing and the u.s. needs to stay ahead of them but analysts believe they're not capable of striking the u.s. mainlapd but the concern is one miscalculation, rob, and the region could trigger a war neither side wants to enter. >> reena ninan, thank you for that report. dozens of people have been charged in one of the country's biggest school cheating scandals ever. the former superintendent of atlanta public schools and 4 other administers and teachers are now facing charges including racketeering and false statements.
4:03 am
all accused of giving students the answers or even changing them on standardized tests over the course of a decade. and the woman at the center of the prostitution scandal that shook up the small main town of kennebunk has reached a plea deal. sum ba instructor alexis wright after pleading guilty on 20 counts including prostitution and tax evasion. the deal, though, spares her and her clients from a high-profile trial. her sentencing has been set for may 31st. and finally, a shocking discovery outside of seattle. some 35,000 pieces of undelivered mail are believed to be buried here. the burial ground was just discovered three years after the disgraced mailman responsible for it was fired for burning mail. he was sentenced then to community service and probation and admitted to simply being lazy. >> how many people saying, see, i told you the check was in the mail?
4:04 am
>> yeah, no kidding. >> seems like it would be a lot of work to dig a hole and bury all that mail and burn it. he might as well as delivered it. >> or get an easier job. >> something with no sleet or snow in it. rob, thank you very much. >> sure. now to a nation on edge. waiting for word on nelson mandela. the frail former president of south africa is in the hospital again, the 94-year-old is a national and international icon and abc's ron claiborne as we said earlier is in pretoria this morning with the very latest. ron, good morning to you, sir. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, dan. i am outside the private hospital where where believe nelson mandela is. no update on his condition. the last word we had which came yesterday he was responding well to treatment and that he had had breakfast and had eaten breakfast in his hospital room, responding well to treatment for a lung infection. it was the third time that he's been hospitalized since going
4:05 am
back into december and despite those somewhat succinct and some maddeningly vague government announcements about his health there have been some commentsiwf alluding to his mortality. the president of south africa saying that among the zulu, the expression going home is another way of saying somebody has passed away. nelson mandela's grandson saying that they are under no illusions. his words given his age hen his condition. winnie mandela, his second and former wife saying yesterday asking the public to pray for nelson mandela. these could, of course, be interpreted as preparatory comments to prepare the public for the passing of nelson mandela. intellectually people know at the age of 94 with a lung infection, this is a serious condition, but emotionally when he passes away, whenever that is, it will be a tough time. a real jolt for the people in this country, but, dan, again, the official word is that nelson mandela is said to be improving zt a hospital here probably the one right behind me in pretoria.
4:06 am
>> easy to read into some of those comments for sure. a lot of people worried about what's going on in pretoria. ron, great to have you there on that story. bianna, over to you. >> all right, dan. we turn to the health scare causing a mad rush by thousands of anxious dental patients. they may have been exposed to hiv and hepatitis by a dentist using unsanitary instruments. his office now being called a perfect storm for infections. abc news chief health and med cal editor richard besser is here with the latest. so many frightened patients. >> they are. one of his patients has already tested positive for hepatitis c. the patient had no other risk factors other than receiving dental treatment in his office and that's what prompted the investigation. this morning more than 7,000 patients of this man oklahoma dentist dr. scott harrington are steving this letter. urging them to get screened for hepatitis c, hepatitis b and hiv. >> i have no comment. >> reporter: late friday knxv captured video of a man
4:07 am
answering the door at a vacation home believed to be owned by harrington. he cow weathered behind the reporter and then slammed the door. harrington who has been practicing for over 30 years could face criminal charges after allegedly exposing his patients to the deadly viruses by using instruments that weren't properly sterilized. his patients are devastated. >> my worry now is are my health issues that may develop. >> being positive -- >> reporter: a 17-count complaint accuses him of being a menace to the public health. >> we were just physically kind of sick. the instruments that came out of the autoclave were horrible. i wouldn't let my nephews play with them out in the dirt. >> reporter: among the alleged violations, multiple sterilization issues and multiple cross contamination issues. investigators found two separate sets of instruments. one set for patients known to have infectious sdpeez and another set for persons not
4:08 am
believed to have infectious disease and the autoclave, the machine designed to sterilize dental trumans which is supposed to be tested monthly, it hadn't been checked in six years. >> if someone goes into a dentist office and don't see barriers, bags, they don't see clean, what should they do? >> recommend them to leave. >> calls to dr. harrington's lawyer have gone unanswered and no one is answering at his home either. this morning the health department is offering free testing to anyone who received treatment by dr. harrington and it's so important to get tested because these infections can be totally silent for years before anyone would develop symptoms. >> you and i were talking about how important it is to seen see dentists open fresh bags. >> very reassuring. that way you know they've been sterilized. >> thank you. >> thanks, doctor. another store of violated trust. when you put your kids on the school bus you do not expect this to happen. bullying by a grown-up. the alleged victim here an especially vulnerable

4:10 am
boo-hoo. >> reporter: it came do a sudden stop after a school employee reported the alleged abuse to police. >> you going home with me today. >> no. >> yes, you are. >> reporter: after nearly a 4-month investigation she was arrested thursday and charged with stalking, according to the police report, there was at least one incident in which macpherson grabbed the boy causing him to hit his head on the side of the bus. abc news reached 0 out to her for comment but got no word back. the boy's family isn't speaking either. but police are. >> innocent victim. it's a violation of public trust as far as i'm concerned. >> reporter: this morning we know she was released from jail on $20,000 bond and 130ek to the director of communications for the school board. she says macpherson is still with the st. lucy schools in a role away from students, though. her status with the school is pending the legal process, dan, bianna. >> i hope she stays away from children. ty, thank you. >> thanks, ty.
